The WPS Porsche 912
September 11, 2015
Washing cars is never a chore when the car is curvy like a beautiful lady – too far? maybe, but caressing life back into the paintwork on Ian clark’s new porsche 912 was definitely a pleasure.

Aircooled Drag Day
July 30, 2015
I was asked by my good pal Ben Lawrence to design a new logo for his drag racing event. It’s pretty much the only air-cooled VW drag racing event in Ireland. The scene over there is refreshingly simple. Basic grass roots racing all weekend, with a show and shine on the Sunday. In it’s third […]
Feeding the Sloths
July 10, 2015
Had a lovely day at Colchester Zoo last week. My better half Claire had been given a ‘Sloth experience’ for her birthday. To say she was excited is a massive understatement as she hopped about like a toddler till we got there. Really tricky taking photos of the ‘actual’ experience as it was through tinted […]

Make sure you pick up this months Classic Porsche magazine. Its an awesome issue with an abundance of cool.

Always take your camera
April 8, 2015
Everywhere. Took this shot from the passenger seat on a trip out one evening. I’ve learnt over the years to always (where possible) take a camera. Years of using an SLR with a phone for backup I found myself using my phone more than not. It was only when I upgraded my SLR I soon […]

Brooklands Museum New Years Day
January 8, 2015
It’s worth fighting the Hangover on New Years Day to make it to Byfleet in Surrey the home of Brooklands Museum. Their annual gathering is a laid back affair with more variety than a Woolworths pick and mix.
